Assessing Community Needs: Your Voice Matters

Teton Valley Health Care (TVHC) is committed to meeting the health needs of our community, and we want to hear from you. To better understand the priorities and challenges facing residents, TVHC has sent out its latest Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). This survey is a critical tool that allows the community to weigh in on the most pressing health issues, ensuring that healthcare resources are allocated where they are needed most.

The last CHNA, conducted three years ago, overwhelmingly indicated that oncology services should be a top priority for TVHC. In response, we have significantly expanded our oncology department, bringing personalized, in-person cancer care directly to our community. For the first time, residents of Teton Valley can receive advanced oncology treatments without the burden of traveling long distances.
